Description: |
|
It riseth up at first with divers whitish green scaly Heads very brittle or easie to break while they are yong, which afterwards rise up into very long and slender green stalks, of the bigness of an ordinary riding wand at the bottom of most, or bigger or lesser, as the Roots are of growth; on which are set divers branches of green Leavs, shorter and smaller than Fennel to the top, at the joynts wherof come forth small mossie yellowish Flowers, which turn into round Berries, green at the first, and of an excellent red colour when they are ripe, shewing like Beads of Corral, wherin are contained exceeding hard, black Seeds. The Roots are dispersed from a spongeous Head into many long, thick, and round strings, wherby it sucketh much Nourishment out of the ground, and encreaseth plentifully thereby. |
|
Place: |
|
It groweth usually in Gardens; and some of it grows wild, in Appleton Meadow in Gloucestershire, where the poor people do gather the Buds, or yong Shoots, and sell them cheaper than our Garden Asparagus is sold at London. |
|
Time: |
|
They do for the most part Flower, and bear their Berries late in the yeer, or not at all, although they are housed in Winter. |
|
Use: |
|
The yong Bud or branches boyled in ones ordinary broth, maketh the Belly soluble and open, and boyled in white Wine, provoketh Urin being stopped, and is good against the Strangury, or difficulty of making water; it expelleth the gravel and stone out of the Kidneys, and helpeth pains in the Reins: And boyled in white Wine or Vinegar it is prevalent for them that have their Arteries loosned, or are troubled with the Hip-Gout, or Sciatica. The Decoction of the Roots boyled in Wine and taken is good to cleer the sight, and being held in the Mouth easeth the Toothach: And being taken fasting several mornings together stirreth up bodily lust in Man or Woman (whatsoever some have written to the contrary.) The Garden Asparaus nourisheth more than the wild; yet hath it the same effects in al the aforementioned Diseases. The Decoction of the Roots in white Wine, and the Back and Belly bathed therwith, or kneeling or lying down in the same, or sitting therin as a Bath, hath been found effectual against pains that happen to the lower parts of the Body; and no less effectual against stiff and benummed Sinews, or those that are shrunk by Cramps, and Convulsions, and helpeth the Sciatica. |
